Show stopper: Kirstie Alley wowed the crowd as she took to the catwalk at the Zang Toi Spring 2012 show at New York Fashion Week yesterday

While celebrities come out in droves all battling for a front row seat at the best shows New York Fashion Week has to offer there was one person who did things a little differently.

Kirstie Alley outdid celebrities and models alike today by strutting her stuff down the catwalk for Zang Toi.
Despite being 60-years-old the Cheers star stole the show as she paraded her newly slimmed down physique in front of a packed house at The Studio at the Lincoln Centre.


Feeling blue: The actress kept a stern face while the crowd cheered and clapped

Wearing a stunning cobalt blue embellished gown and matching dress coat, the actress garnered cheers and loud ovation as she swept up the long catwalk, looking 20-years-younger than her actual age.

'Waaaa Hooooo!!! Kitty is ready to walk the Cat!!! False Bravado will guide me...Let's have some fun @ZANGTOI!!!' she tweeted on Tuesday before the show.


Barefoot beauty: Kirstie showed off her slimmed down figure in a range of outfits

'Will be winkin and blinking at y'all. DONT make me laugh! Gotta keep model face. Oh, who am I kidding?? Haha,' she tweeted.

'DO NOT make eye contact! I will start giggling and fall on my well-dressed ass. Look away!'



On a high: She was seen after the show looking happy and relaxed and still in one of her catwalk ensembles

'I've known Zang since 1993,' Kirstie told Entertainment Tonight.

'I did the cover of Redbook and I wanted something really beautiful...he just has the most beautiful clothes, period.'

'Thank You all the REAL Models for letting me share @ZANGTOI runway with you! You all were sooo sweet and looked soooo gorgeous!' she tweeted afterwards.

The actress enjoyed the experience, and the clothes, so much that she walked out of the Lincoln Centre wearing one of the outfits she modelled.
